moon light cabinet

I am not sure the black light effect is as good as seen in the picture, it is hard to see a furniture with a big flash in your eye. This is the one and surprisingly it is also manufactured by Ennezero; the maker of Tester Bed Vita Privata which is my sister's favourite four poster bed. The use of luminous paint make the cabinet a lighting object as center of interest. The normal view image is comparatively too pale. mocoloco via <yatzar>

Ready for new toy

Just placed the order and wait for two weeks, I'll begin my homework which I have no idea if it can be easily accomplished. Though, the kit has not been delivered, a lot of ideas pop up in my mind such as hand grip (like the R-blue) and motion edit to run as fast as omnizero.

sofa model 137

This sofa looks like the Japanese sofa but actually it is designed in 1953 by Finn Juhl from Danmark. It is also called the Japanese Model as it is inspired by Miajima water gate off the coast of Hiroshima. So it is a fusion of Japanese style and Scandinavina craftmanship. The chair's detail has a bit like Carl Hansen & son product. It is beautiful! <onecollection>

I have noticed this icon watch for years and finally it comes to production. It is dame cool to show off as a toy watch and I am sure it is totally unexpected to your friend. This watch is designed by &design and is now available in MOMA store. This Japanese design firm also has many interesting icon products such as light switch, door bell etc.

new chair from Magis

Magis has some attractive items in the latest release. This includes chairs and hangers, both are easy to match in home. If my sister can wait, I would prefer to get a black one than a chair one. This steel wood chair designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec is available now at the same price range with chair one. <magis>

pure white

A simple and iconic seating series from Artek. In the recent release, the pure white leather and the wooden frame image further establish a classic milestone of Finnesh design. Pure white is not easy to do color match but it is really lovely. <Artek>

Time Brick

I dun remember if I have talk about this Verbarius clock. It flashes in my mind when I am thinking of getting an alarm clock instead of using my mobile phone to wake me up in the morning. This is kind of cool but I suppose it is better to come with alarm clock function....as basic. <Artlebedev>

every body runs

This is a simple action game. What you need to do is to keep running running and jumping in different countries and to stay away from ox, police, girl, fat man ... The rhythm is light and fast. Good for killing time while waiting for meeting or keep yourself awake!!! <miniclip>

A chair that comes with flying colors

Do you feel your home is too dull? Do you feel you have too many ideas to your home? This chair should fit you or I think most gals like it. This OZ chair is introduced in IMM Cologne 2008 and it is a project of Cate & Nelson, a swedish and Spanish design studio. It looks like a color sample of textile that can color match with the surrounding by fliping the cloth. That's a bright idea and I think this idea can apply on many applications. <mocoloco>

sofa again

I know it is a bit crazy but I am really addicted to e15 product esp seeing its new items in show room and IMM cologne report. When I first read e15 is going to launch upholster series, I thought it should stick on its hard wood business. But when I saw this modular series, oh god, I am looking for this so long. The extra tall upholstery board provide a simple solution to avoid. wall reflection of music. No extra sound absorption work is required. Also the idea for rear board does serve a good option to improve the interior appearance. I know my living room is too small to fit all these master piece. But I really love it. <e15>



new magazine rack

OK! a new CD player requires additional input to my speaker. So there is no extra port for my subwoofer and I decided to give up my 2.1 config. The extra space is fit to a new tenant: contraforma magazine rack "romance 04". Thanks to my sister who buy the same series coffee table so I can join the order. My home is turning into a show room, my wife said.

My minimal audio system is completed

Finally, I can play CD with my new toy and output to active monitor. This is really a painfull experience. Normally, an amplified output signal cannot used as line-out. I did great search on any HiFi shop and no one think it is possible or it will have great distortion. Lastly, I found a rare HiFi accessory in ebay that did the exact function for high power rated amplifier. This precious blackbox is right behind my CD player in the picture. The sound may not at top quality but I have no complaint now.

aura note

An all in one music system that comes with CD player, amp, radio, USBx2 but without pre-out. So it seems not totally match to my active speakers.

PC toys TACHIKOMA

Wow, Japanese do know how to dig money out of your pocket. This is a very populer character from GITS 2nd GIG. Similar to other USB toys, it can move, making noise when you are using the computer. There is not much information in the web so I actually don't know what it can do. But I wish it can interact with some application such as MSN or outlook. <robo watch>

chandelier lover

"There are two types of people in the world"~ from the movie Swing Girls. I realized this when I posted this chandelier picture to the forum before. I supposed the reader could realize how wonderful an object could be redesigned. In return, people liked to make conclusion that it was fake without even look at the picture carefully. This is a proof that many HKese are stubborn to new things and stereotype to common taste: Starck, Eames, vintage etc. that's it.
If someone still think it is fake, I can tell you it is available now at ATELIER Abigail Ahern

Shoal of fish chandelier

I just can't stop posting this out even I am at work. This is the new work of a UK company Scabetti to be presented in 100% design at UK. I want to take a closer look to find out how the fishes are tighted together. It must be very interesting to stare from the bottom upwards. I am searching for more pictures to see what it actually looks like.

I need a nice CD player

It is shame to tell my friends that I cannot play a CD normally in living room. My dumb DVD player has only one output and audio signal has to be output from TV indirectly. And I do think to play a CD nicely, it is a must to have a good CD player, with DAC and digital output for external DAC. To fit my current configuration, I need a good looking and compact CD player to work with my Elekit tube preamp and Genelec active speakers. Seems Musical Fidelity X-ray series is targeting to those users like me. But I like the appearance of V3 rather than the latest model.
